WeeJohnny Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Me and my two pals are in 13 as well. We're intending to go kilted - is anyone else or is that a daft idea ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the wee ATAC guide (posted further down the page) appears the Slovaks are aware those areas will be flooded with Scots and arent too bothered.

Fugitive Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Will definitely be kilted for this - we were told not to wear our kilts in Prague (2010 ?) and the place was full of kilts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsno1 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 We will be kilted up. Section 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab The Crab Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) Read the guide from ATAC tonight and the Slovakian FA are fully aware that there will be 100's of us in the home end and have no issues providing we don't act like pricks.

braveheart1962 Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Thanks for the replies, only thing I'm worried about is if the local neds try and steal the flags , which is what happened in Warsaw 2 years ago, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flag stealing for trophies is a pretty big fab in Central-Eastern European football just now, so probably very little you can do against that.

The official Slovak crazies/most passionate fans will seemingly be sat exactly opposite is behind the other goals though. I'd imagine flags and kilts will be absolutely fine, as will we save anyone acting like a dick obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GERTA Ulli Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 2 of us in section 13, not sure about the flag, maybe too big and too many others.....leaving the flag at the hotel and get the points would be a good deal. Stadiums in Russia are bigger.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RABBIEBURNS Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 6 of us section 13. All kilted and with flags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsno1 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Taking the flag quite near the front of section 13 so close enough to stop it getting nabbed if that Happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brassrubber Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Flags are the priority they must all be up in prime positions even if it means half your fellow supporters cant see the game .Big feck off feathers are obviously a must too.

braveheart1962 Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 I have all of those and prime spot has already been reserved for my feathers and flag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flag stealing for trophies is a pretty big fab in Central-Eastern European football just now, so probably very little you can do against that. At the end of the St Johnstone game against Trnava a few years back, some Spartak Ultras actually ran across the pitch to try to nick the Saints flags. Fortunately one of our group noticed it happening and wrestled our flag out of the guys' hands. However, they all then got so pissed that they left the flag in a pub in Bratislava and it was gone by the time they went back to get it the following day! So if anyone sees a 12 ft by 6 ft Edinburgh Saints Saltire on their travels around Slovakia, I'd appreciate it back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
